A workaround for the displaying problem could be to specify that
Emacs should use the ETL font (which obviously contains the necessary
glyphs) for the IPA characters in the `mule-unicode-0100-24ff'
charset, too. (This requires of course a fontset.)

I have not tested this, because I don't have the ETL fonts:

(set-fontset-font 
 "fontset-lirumlarum" ; Replace this with the name of your fontset.
 '(332240 . 332367) ; First and Last IPA chars in mule-unicode-0100-24ff
 "-ETL-Fixed-Medium-R-Normal--16-160-72-72-C-80-MuleIPA-1")
